Technical Abstract

Various examples are directed to systems and methods for executing a web application with client-side encryption. A web application may execute in a web browser at a client computing device. The web browser may generate a document comprising a secure display element. The web browser may request to render the document at the client computing device. A cryptographic tool of the web browser may decrypt the first encrypted value to generate a first clear value. The web browser may render the document at an output device of the client computing device using the clear value. The web browser may also be programmed to prevent the web application from accessing the first clear value.
